NHS in England - help with health costs

Although treatment on the NHS is free at the point of delivery, there may still be some costs (for example, your journey to hospital). However, much or all of the cost can be reclaimed, which should ease any added stress. The following pages explain in full detail how to claim the money to which you are entitled.

On November 1 2015 the arrangements about who is entitled to help with health costs changed. If you receive Universal Credit ensure you are aware of the new arrangements as you may no longer be entitled to support.
